Bill Goldberg was
always a different kind of superstar in the wrestling world, even at the height
of his fame in WCW.
The former
two-time world champion - once in WCW and once in WWE - hasn't been inside a
WWE ring since WrestleMania 20 back in 2004 where he and Brock Lesnar were
mercilessly booed out of Madison Square Garden.
Of course, that's
not indicative of Goldberg's popularity amongst wrestling fans. The crowd knew
both Goldberg and Lesnar were departing the company the next day and had no
reason to care about that particular matchup.
At
his peak, Goldberg was as hot as anybody in the history of the business.
the
49-year-old has a chance to reconnect with the WWE audience through the
forthcoming game, WWE 2K17.
His
involvement in the game has given fresh momentum to rumours that the WCW icon
may step inside a WWE ring again.
“It
evoked a feeling that I haven’t felt in a long time which is kind of cool but
the reality is it ain’t in my court,” he said. “It’s not in my court. I’ve said
many times that I’m willing to throw water under the bridge but, hey, at the
end of the day, it is what it is. I’m here in the video game and I’m ecstatic
for that. If that’s all that it is, hey, I’m fine, I’m cool. I can live the
rest of my life and be extremely pleased with what I’ve accomplished.”
Goldberg left the
WWE after only one-year with the company and it didn't end nicely. The former
NFL player complained the WWE didn't know how to "do business" and
has taken multiple shots at Triple H - who has now ascended to a very high
position in the WWE - since his departure.
He appears ready
to bury the hatchet, but are the WWE? Is there a dream match with Goldberg
